Brushes should always be bristle up so that they do not get distorted. You can always cut holds in a plastic lid so that each brush can stand up and rattle around.

You may need a hobby …

Wait. You need to bring paint brushes when you travel?

Second thoughts…

Plastic tubing put over the bristles onto the handle to protect them?

It seemed like a good idea until you really thought about it.

It’s the same thing with controllers. What if they drift?!

I’d be shoving a piece of styrofoam in the bottom of the tube.

Can’t you just lay it on its side? Also, I like Dan’s mug.

If your brushes aren’t to thick… I took the case from a children’s water color set, removed the paint tray and but thin piece of sponge centered in the top & bottom. The brushes stay firmly in place, and the bristles don’t contact the tray.

Get a cloth brush holder with the little elastic loops on the inside, that you then roll up. Put the brushes in that, and then into an appropriately sized hard-sided tube. (After re-reading this, my comment comes off to me as snippy. Which I 100% don’t intend! I just can’t figure out how to re-word it. Coffee. Need coffee.) :)

What I find most pleasing about this comic strip is that, by merely drawing/writing about your daily life, I’m rolling on the floor in stitches.
